so the challenge came and went...i feel great about what i have done so far...the progress, is continuing...im still crushing it t the gym and have lost another 3 pounds...i guess we're going to be able to blog still so ill keep up with what im doing with my life....thanks u to all that supported, even without the asics, team marco still won....
just saw this dope mural of che...pretty sick...
ok so were in the home stretch, 12 more hours...ive been crushing it at the gym the past few days but honestly, the weight is not dipping...i think its cuz of the muscles at this point...ive achieved part of what i set out on when i signed up for this challenge...i said i wanted to fit into fitted button downs and loose my man boobs...the man boobs are solid...a little flab on the sides but if i got them from utters to this, im over content...shout out to all of u whom have supported me through this..bigger shouts to those who even tried to do this challenge...its so impersonal to do it together over the net, but at least its a start..and if i can loose th eman boobs, so can u, ur husbands or boyfriends...i totally didnt alter my life at all during this challenge..i kept up with my freakish nightlife with friends, but worked harder at the gym the next day...there were times i fell off, sorry nicki, but listen, if u didnt fall off in life, ud never learn...look at brandon davis...serch tmz.com, look up his name and ull see the little rich kid who had everything handed to him floating around hollywood because he never knew what it was like to "fall off"...if he falls he has a security blanket, celeb rehab, parents with money..u get the point...regular folks like us have no support on the backend so we need to learn how to fall and brush off the dirt and get back on, on our own..so, with that said, im glad i didnt deprive myself of the things i like, such as delmonicos 3 times a week, drinking wine with ann and fabian, dinner with nick laura jessica and "that dude", girl scout cookies from kelly booker burkhard, eating a baked alaska and a chocolate molten cake on my birthday, watching ann go from vegan to non vegan back to vegan cuz non vegan made her sick, trips to snowbird and being asked "politely" to leave the nightclub (really fabian), looking at a sushi menu and realizing i ordered for 2 but couldnt let the sushi go to waste, drinking 6 cups of green tea in a matter of 3 hours and realizing my body has a weird reaction to "digesting" it rather quickly, hearing kelly talk about marco and beer when everyone knows that beer is the enemy when dieting so i switched to vodka straight (duh), i mean when i drank catherine :), seeing the look on my familys face when at a family function they wondered if i stopped eating because i had a bite of chicken at an italian family function, debating eating mexican the night before a weigh in...
sooooooooooooo, 3 months down people...a special thank u to everyone whos read, everyone whos commented, and everyone who can relate to how hard this process can be...its 930pm...about to hit the sack and get a good nights rest...hopefully dreaming about losing weight will shed a few pounds...if we were going by body transformations, id vote elyssa....she got jacked up and looks amazing...shully lost a lot of weight, delores looks fantastic, mariann is always slim and trim but she lowered her cholesterol which is awesome, cindy became the runner she wanted to be and ciaff can keep the boys off of her now.....at least my cable isnt going off and on...ughhhhhh...just trying to watch family guy..."hey brian, wheres my money brian...ya got my money brian??"
another run on blog, but this may be goodbye...dont think well be blogging after the challenge but whatever the case, in the next few months im going to be so solid kelly may hold up pics saying wow, marco kept going...
ok party people, i guess this is goodbye from the blog...its been like therapy....i told a good friend of mine, u knwo what u need to do everyday, is write a blog, a journal or just write...its so amazing to look back on certain days and see what state of mind u were in...u dont need to pay someone to tell them how u feel...writing it down and looking at it at a later date helps u way better...sometimes theres a feeling of anger, or love, or just happiness....save that moment, and go back and see what made u feel that way...at the end of the day, u leave it there, and go to sleep with a clean head...
ps..charlie is in the hogs-pital....charlie is my harley...his heart wasnt working so i brought him to the
hogs-pital to get a new one...kind of like what regis had, but cheaper, not as painful and no recovery time needed at all...ill be riding him tomorrow after the challenge is over...
oh and ciao to my family from another mother in BARI ITALY and hola to my homey in costa rica....Did u know people are watching all the way across the world...
mphresher...worldwideeeeeee...u officialyy have tickets to the gun show at 9am...peasssssssssss
wow...so its almost over..well not really over...but this part is...the nerves...the weighing in on national tv...ive cranked it up a notch...been to the gym every day, twice...i even went at 530 this am...im really happy with the results so far...the scale is a bad way to determine if youre making progress...its not about the weight loss, but the body fat loss..ive went from bouncy man boobs and probably a d cup, to a rock hard chest and a b cup, in womens terms...i was just watching the first day when we had our body fat taken...oh my god...i wanted to use it in the piece but america would think it was a womans bare breast...i mean really...it was insaneeeeee...and here, for u to see....really?? im so glad i dont have to look at that anymore..
listen there is nothing wrong with being over ur ideal weight...the thing is, when u look back on it, ull see how u wonder how u let urself slide that far...its so rewarding to finally look in the mirror and not go yuck...im not wher ei want to be, but the results are there and im getting even more amped to chizzle my body for the summertime...gotta floss them abs in costa rica....were going to take a physique 57 class with kelly today...im dreading this class, its so hardddddddddddddddd...anyways, thanks to everyone so far for the support..its so nice to get a message on my blackberry from you guys with love and support...like this am, someone wrote me at 2am, and it came through when i woke up at 5..i was going to the gym and i felt weak and not wanting to crush it...then i got the text and was like, word, ill crush it...
anyways shouts to primetime lauria, the newest syndicated tv show i saw last week....got to chat up with the woman who plays the mother on the show...without her maps, where would she be???
signing off.......mphresherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
oh yeah and this sunday, theres a half marathon in central park...go support my trainer nicki, the pitbull, and some of the staff fitness ladies...
oh yeah and HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPSSSSSSSS...The old man turns 70 today!! Hes the toughest strongest man uve ever met in ur life...I want to toast a drink to you pops but i stopped drinking until the weigh in so everyone raise a water and honor the man, the myth, the legend....
yeah as u can see from the video, he killed us in class...dont't get it twisted johnnie p is nooooo joke...he's a part of the regis and kelly family...you may have seen him on the cruise and you've probably seen his dance routines hes coreographed on our special shows...hes the best but after yetserday, i dont think were speaking anymore...to mak eit more amazing, after work yesterday i met up with my buddy darrin for another workout...light light light...did 2 miles and tris and chest...not really hardbody crushing it, but a nice little routine...then we sat in the steam room for a half hour...i lost like 20 pounds of sweat in there..this weekend im goin gto take some video at home of the gym and me doing a workout there...
so u see i was annoyed the other day with the deleting of my blog so here goes nothing..
last week, i went to see that show FUERZA BRUTA again...sick sick sickkkkkkk...here are some pics from the show..
yeah its nuts...i dont want to get into details, just go see it...http://fuerzabrutanyc.com/
so the weekend was pretty mellow...for some reason i couldnt get out of bed saturday...i just kept laying there and laying there and never quite made it out of bed till around 10...i mean, i had to walk the dog so something had to motivate me to rise and shine...after that i hit the gym and met up with my buddy nick, his girlfriend, her friend jess and nicks friend who was in town from arizona...we went to blt fish...wow...what a meal...we all split oysters as an app...let me ask you guys something...not in a sexist way...why do men look at oysters and go, yum woof woof, me need to eat eat eat and not stop..the girls looked at us like, really youre going to eat that?? ill give it up to jessica though, she tried em but had that face...the oh my god its so slimey...shout to jess for sucking it up, literally...after dinner we went over to a local watering hole, llucky jacks and saw my friend LIAM...without saying what happned that night, Marco had to do some damage control...wow!! saturday night amongst adults and people were high schooling it...it was all verbal but wow...anyways...i should have video cameras for this stuff cuz no one would believe it...
so sunday was easter and i went to staten island, the 7th boro, to see my fam...we went out to dinner...heres some pics..

so monday i crushedddddddddddd it at the gym...i must have sweat 2 pounds off...for me, its about routine...i like doing the same thing every day at the gym...i dont need to switch it up....if u do cuz u get bored, do it...for the next 2 weeks its cardio cardio cardio.....i cant wait till the weigh in...i may not have the weight loss like the biggest loser, bu ti feel great and my body is coming together...so happy, so proud...

mphressssssssssssicaaaaaa
i know ive been slacking on the blog...i know...bad marco...just been trying to get my life in order...just moved into a new place physically and mentally...so what have i been up to...well this past weekend i played in a soccer tournament in bklyn....go brooklyn...but we all know the birth of hip hop started in the bronx, took the subway to queens, got married in manhattan, uptown, harlem world, and gave birth to many mc's in brooklawnnnnn..biggie, jay z...yeah, now u know...mc shan, nas, 50...killa...so im proud to be here...in the q boro...anyways...brooklyn...we won the tournament by the way...i had a few assists, steve rocked out the game winner, nick had a header goal, emilio pulle his groin, alan pulled his quad, and marco alan and nick changed tires on a damaged car...all in one day...so i d say that workout helped burn about 3k calories...one thing is though...dont think that because ur burning u shouldnt eat...ur body goes into starvation mode if u dont put back the essential calories...it doesnt mean that since u burned so much u could eat nasty mozarealla sticks and bad chicken rolls, as i did...it was all they had at the spot...ive been pretty strict with my diet and even though the weight in is coming up, im totally content with where i am....my weight is not falling off like id had hoped but nicki has been cutting me up like a chick who wears long sleeves...at xicala...word to homegirl...saturday night i met up with some folkd at delmonicos for a steak dinner...i missed meat, so i ate it...uhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah....can i recommend the best meal ever...eat at delmonicos...its amazin...mention my name, ull get a discount...ive been crushing it at the gym...when i say crushing it i mean pushing my body to the limit....yesterday though, i didnt really crush cardio but i crushed tris and chest...i think the key for me is to get in and get out...i like to work out and not mess around...i dont rest between sets...i juts go from one to the other...it feels like you are doing more and not wasting time...i had dinner with ann and fabian last night at this new argentine spot on the west side...we sat ther for about 2 hours, chatted and had a great healthy meal....today i have nicki who will probably destroy me and them in going to chill tonight...i need to sit on the couch, watch tv ,and just chill...tomorrow im going to see fuerza bruta, an amazing off broadway show, again...should be a great night....as u can see were on tape this week so im sitting around doing nothing...gelmans out west in tons of snow, so jealous, and r and k are probably somewhere tropical...hey, weve worked so hard this first part of the year, we all deserve it...ok people...time to get showered an start my day...
mmmmmmmmmmmmmphreezer
heres some pics from cali that darrin took that i forgot to post...
enjoyyyyyy
ok so the past 3 days have been really intense...from the bodysurge360 class, to me going home after that and running 3 miles and doing a workout, to nickis killlllllllller training session yesterday...she really pushed me and i was so tired that at the end i started to fade...i was at about 85 percent yesterday...i just needed a days rest...important...very important to not overdo it...im feeling aches and pains from pushing too hard so tonight, i think its a massage...and the steam room...i love the steam room...it makes u feel so relaxed and mellow...anxiety disappears, and u have time to reflect on your life...i had this amazing vegetable drink this am...i went to the healthfood store near my apartment, which looks like a public violation from the outside...id much rather hit the old bodega in the hood me and my boys used to go to when we needed an old english at the tender age of 17...this place looks nasty outside and inside...but, it was a health food store...so, i covered my nose, entered and ordered a carrot,beet,ginger,lemon, apple and celery drink...yeah i know...it sounds nasty...it really was amazing...the only thing next time is the ginger will not be a part of it....it kind of burns the insides a little...so i drank it in the time i got it and the train arrived...of course, as soon as i got on the crowded train, i felt my inside rumbling...i think i thought i was going to puke from the drink...i cranked up silversun pickups, rusted wheel, and rocked back and forth, just to aid in the "digestion"... Finally, all of 7 minutes later, when we got to grand central station, a seat opened up and i sat...i was sweatingggggggggggg...so i opened my jacket...by the time i got to times square, which is another 2 stops, i was fine...what i thought was the drink was a case of the cold to hot syndrome marco self diagnosed...whenever i go from a clod place to a hot place, i get blurry vision, and sweat...im not talking like 5 degrees...im talking like 40...it was BRICKKKKKKKKKK cold walking to the train, since i live on the water and it was windy...then the train was like a buck20...not only that, now its time to walk up 4 flights of stairs to the 1 train...marcos legs were not working...i struggled each step....as soon as i got to work though, i felt amazingggggggggg...i guess the drink kicked in..
im laying low today....have laundry to do, and i need a break from the gym...i did do some in office activities though...i have a set of dumbells here so i took advantage...heres som epics...you can easily do this stuff with anything weighted while youre sitting at your desk...
some shoulder stuff
some tris
some bis
hydrate up...
and some pushups....
crush it on party people....were in this to win this......
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmphresh...
so ive been slacking on the blog...so sorry...i just moved into a new place and im trying to get my life in order so i apologize...i know, no excuses...im done with them...so heres whats been going on in my world...ive stayed focus on working out and eating right...i have this amazing gym in my building and i loveeeeeeee working out there...i basically take nickis routine and do it there...its a little different because some of the machines are not the same, but ive adapted...im getting into a groove now, knowing that the scale is my worst enemy in 3 more week..cardio cardio cardio...i overexerted myself on saturday and hurt my shoulder, which was already hurting me a little..nicki said to treat myself to a massage to make the knot go away...so i will...anyone a massage therapist?? youll get hooked up in my blog after...no soliciting marco...look what happened when spitzer solicited...ouch...can u imagine?? whatever people feel about someone, i mean really?? someone had it out for him boy...and the press showing his kids?? i mean seriously...what a world we live in...speaking of which...the whole madonna craze...the paparazzi are literally in front of reebok sports club ny every day waiting for her to come and go..just to get a shot of her...so crazy...i watched her workout today....she is insaneeeeeeeeeeeeee...she dances on the treadmill..yeah madonna, but do you do this??
how about this, madonna??
whatever the case, madonna, you looked like you were crushing it there...she should teach us a class...our class today was sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk....BODYSURGE360...Kira Stokes is the teacher....uh yeah, insane...she killed us....it was such a great total body workout...i find that i like classes a lot more than sitting on a treadmill or elliptical machine...i think in the class, especially being the only guy, you work harder to show everyone else that youre built for it...i mean when i wanted to stop Kira would look over and rather than her yelling at me through the headset, i tried to keep up...i gave about 80 percent but it was my first time...next week 90 and the following week 120...i really like the way i feel afterwards so i want to keep this going...one thing in noticing is how stiff my back is lately so i think i might take a yoga class at my building tonight...i am so sitting in the steam room for an hour today...i want to rid my body of the toxic wate i have in it right now, mainly some cold that has been going around that i caught...and i need to lose the dessert that my trainer nicki ate the other night at dinner...me nicki and her friend went out for a "healthy" meal at delmonicos..they opted for dessert, i opted for dessert wine...were doing the no alcohol for the ret of the challenge...and i hear katherine, our nutritionist, clapping!!! since its the source of my bad habits, im cutting it out for the next 3 weeks...im focused, mannnnnnnnn....and for everyone that writes to me, thank you so much...it all helps at the end of the day...oh, also, this weekend, me and my boys are playing in a soccer tournament in brooklyn...if anyone wants to come watch men with strong legs and, well strong upper legs too, shout me out....the one thing i dont get...ok, so if i was a chick...soccer players and snowboarders...theyre both in sickkkkkkkk shape...so if you are single and want to meet a guy who is somewhat athletic, likes the outdoors, and chooses to spend his hard earned money, not on a bottle of goose at the clubs, but on "working out" all weekend on the slopes, why would you not flock towards the mountains or soccer fields?? me and my friends debate this all the time...victoria beckham understands it...shout out to VB....and their son BROOKLYN...What about QUEENS, son...Brooklyn keeps on making it but QUEENS keeps on PAPER-IN-IT....sorry KRSone, i just need to be proud of the boro that raised me...
oh on a side note, DJ-JS1 is playing at Killington Vermont on thursday if anyone is there...HES NASTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...
SHUNNN Just call me the phresh-m....
that was my last hurrahhhhhh of liquor till april 8th...looks like i liked it huh?? negative, nancy...
ok people...one month to go....son is feeling it hardbodyyyyyy...nicki wreckeddddddd me yesterday....today im taping the workout so ill post it in my blog later...the funny thing is, nicki pushes me to the limit, then when im ready to pass out, she asks, are you ok? without that push, sometime su tend to do the last few reps carelessly and not like you should be doing them...so listen up....get a friend and train together...for real...its so motivational for your friend to call you a wimp....nicki, all 75 pounds of her, says 5 more and it charges me to know that she could probably do 10 more when im struggling on the last 3...when she says 5 more, i do 6...to rove to myself that i can handle a challenge...and overall, this isnt a competiton amongst each other, its a fight against yourself and looking in that mirror everyday...the whole staff is so positive about what were doing...from elyssa, getting jacked like hugh jackman, to ciaff ripping up the hotnees she already has, to seeing cindy with positive energy and dropping weight light a dealer in a drug raid, to marianne looking like 25 year old, to delores who went from d block, to d rock solid, son, to shully crushing it to fit into her wedding dress...if homeboy doesnt propose after the challenge, he may find himself fighting for her to not date other men...im just saying, D....all in all, its positive energy around here...i guess when there is a goal, u kind of get amped...so maybe you need to set a goal....maybe its the summer is coming and you dont want to suck that gut in...maybe u have a vacation coming up and want to rock that thong bikini...maybe u just want to feel like you dont want to look down and see gut...whatever the goal is, set one so you work harder...i know i have more than 500 people backing me, bu tthe first 500 on my team will be getting some asics sneaker...i want to be the first man in self magazine....also, go buy this album...its my friends solo album....pretty dope...
http://cdbaby.com/cd/creamerjoe
just to show you the support...deanna signed up for the team....theyre the hottest thing at the gym because people are like who is marco?? in a month, theyll all know...who wants one...10 bucks a pop...
AHAAAAAAAA...So a staff weigh in..Last week LA, snowboarding in Utah, and we come home to a weigh in...Now I see some people are upset at Regis for being negative towards me about not losing any weight...Think Amy Winehouse here...NOOOO NOOOOO NOOOOOOOOO....Dont be mad at him...He's looking at numbers...As most people do when they look at a scale...Im concerned with body fat...Now, I am easily going to drop the "scale" stuff in the next month....What ive been doing is building the muscle under all that "fat"..Youll see...Dont get disappointed folks...People want to see competition, its on...The home stretch...Fools have no idea how Im getting ready to crush it, hardbody..So folks, no sweat...like i said, even for yourself, forget numbers...look at urself in the mirror and see changes...
im off to eat some dinner with darrin...im going to post some pics for u later...

im not looking for new england....the song is by billy bragg...my buddy darrin introduced it to me...hes going through what the song spekas of so he serenated me here while he was in LA...
i crushed it this am at the gym this am...i literally worked for 3 days straight, between producing packages with ripaaaaaaa and editing them and shows....i went into work sunday at 7am and literally came out yesterday at 4pm...slept on edit room couches, a few hurs here and there, and bad eating habits...nothing crazy but when ur at an edit house, theres nothing healthy to eat, and youre ordering out from restaurants that arent exactly concerned about an editors health at 2 am eating dinner...no worries, its back to the routine next week...ya see people, its ok to break the routine and slip a little...its life....but, u have to be willing to get back on the horse when u fall off...my trainer nicki told me to just relax for the net few days and sleep so my body can start working the right way again...in my line of work, editing, its a sit down all day and stare at the same clips over and over to create a story...when i was loading tapes i did some push ups and sit ups...i also swam 3 days...im not really a good swimmer...im a swimmer to survive drowning type...i need to learn how to swim distance, how to breathe...anyone with suggestions, let me know...i find myself winded on one lap...i think i swim too hard...lik how billy murphy dances....hard...LA was wonderful...even though iot was a lot of work, i still managed to have some fun...i saw mu buddy colin, chilled with my homie jessica and her sister one night and rolled out to KATSU-YA last night....me tony pigg, darrin and his friend steve crushed like 300 dollars worth of food...it was the best sushi ever....
well heres some pics of me and brian chapman in the edit...hes our shows director, and my mentor...i want to do what he does, one day...im learning the ropes now....
i board a plane in a few hours to hit up UTAH...Snowboarding for 4 days...man, i deserve this.....u know how we do...phresherrrrrrrrrrrr
so im in cali, i have no idea of what time it is, where i am, or what day it is...remotes, for me, consist of longgggggggggg hours with very limited sleep in between...from shooting pieces, to editing them, to cutting the opens, bumpers...ugh..too much tv talk...to put it short, im beat...
heres the kid in action...
that would be me editing, late night, into the wee hours of the am...i think it was a 5 am night...8 am nyc time...and that was starting the edit at around 4pm.7 nyc time...after a day of shooting and running around...yeah....long days...
this long...
editors tend to take naps in their edit rooms when there is a couch...sometimes u need a recharge...
ive been hitting up the gym in the hotel with my circuit training routine....i had a steak for the first time in a while last night with my buddy darrin...hes in town with me here in la and were trying to work and see LA but its a little hard...so much work to do...i ordered the steak last night because lately ive been feeling like i have low iron levels...who knows...maybe i was having a steak fix...it was so yummy...a nice filet...mmmmmm..
i so want to sleep...i need rest...until tomorrow....
So i flew out to LA yesterday, with drama drama drama....The day all started out ok, then it went downhill..I edited the staff fitness piece and had to make some last minute changes...Not a big deal..But, we didnt have all the titles for the workouts and the trainers and they never got put in...sorry to the trainers and the classes and to u at home who were curious as to what classes they were...when i get back to ny, ill post the piece with the titles on my blog...werddddddd...Nicki crushed me yesterday to the point where i almost threw up...hint...when u start feeling sick, stop training...its not a good feeling...but, its crunch time so i decided to push it..i also realized something yesterday....i dont think im really losing that much weight...but, im losing body fat like crazy...or creating hard muscle...nicki made a comment about me being a truck yesterday...she said i was solid and i really felt it today at the gym...im more curious lately about body fat because i kind of ike my frame as it stands and want to develop the muscles more...not in a meathead sort of way, but in a nice, solid, TRUCK..im finding more and more that the circuit training is my thing...i dont like to spend hours in the gym so the circuit training is the way to go...im going to shoot it tomorrow...ill edit it and post it on my blog so u get an idea of what it is...i basically dont rest the whole workout and work my whole body at once..ill do the elliptical for 3 minutes hard then do a bi excercise...get back on for 3 minutes, then do a back...back on for 3 do tris...get back on for 3, do chest...u get the idea...but, i dont sit there in between and rest...i raise my heartrate for maximum burnnnnnnnnnn....i crushed it this am...im still on ny time so i was up at 4am...after the gym i looked out my hotel window and saw this..
thats would be marianne and her husband in a convertible mercedes they rented for a nice cruise down the coast...sweeeeeetttt...she crushed it in the gym this am as well so i guess she deserves it...
heres a view from my hotel of the hills...pretty sweet..
its kind of cloudy here and a little cool...but it beats the ny cold...after were done here, im heading to utah to snowboard for a few days...should be insane, especially after the earthquake they had today that will probably loosen up the snow for mphreshhhhhhhhhh..
i ate in the lobby bar last night cuz by the time i got her nothing was open...i saw the coolest thing that i think nyc is implementing soon...it had all the foods counts...meaning it told u cholesterol, fat, sodium carbs and protein..it was insane...i went with the chicken sandwich cuz it was high in protein and had little salt and carbs....well i have some work to do, and i have to go get a haircut...im meeting up with my friend colin who i used to work with at mtv...something about some hollywood parties tonight...ill bring a camera and work some marcorazi for yall...i dont care about the scene but i will have some photos for you with some hollywood greats...
ps..ive seen comments from people asking about ho long i workout for...me and nicki do about 45 minutes, then a 15 minute stretch...when im alone, i usually do about an hour....go to the gym with a friend...even if u dont talk doing the circuit training, ull see each other and what you both are doing and wont cheat..if u get there at 7pm, make sure ur both done by 8...dont leave at 740, and dont stay till 9....leaving early means ur not doing what u know u should and staying too long means your horsing around...crush it solid for an hour...1 out of 24 isnt hard...
the phreshnesssssssssssssser...better-er than this guy..
thats damien fahey...he likes wings and beers....
here he is after eating wings
but we all remember him from when he co hosts with kelly...hes like a little boy sometimes....ohhh mr mtveeeeeeeeee
as much as i loved seeing cute kids running around the studio, im kind of glad we almost have our winner tomorrow...i have been so busy here with work, i havent had a chance to focus on me..i mean i have, but theres more i would have like to have done...for example, pack my apartment for move i have this weekend...ughhhh..i hate moving...ive moved about 6 times int he past 9 years..i kin dof like seeing different areas in the city and what its like to live there...but, this time i found a place i like and im staying there..long island city is the newest, hottest area in NYC...It is one train stop from grand central station...It is the best commute to work ive ever had...and its in QUEENS....People pay way too much to live in the city, not knowing the bouroughs sometimes have sweet deals...Im moving into an insane building...its like a cruise ship...no jokes...it has a sick gym, sauna hot tubs, steam rooms, massage areas, yoga rooms, pilates area..It also has a 4 lane lap pool on the roof, and in the summer, the roof opens up!!!! sickkkkkkkkkk...it also has a gameroom, a 10 seat movie theatre, an area for parties, like batmitzvahs and weddings....theres a pool table and a 35,000 square foot roof deck with chairs, grills, and landscaping...I may never go out on friday nights again...nowwwwwww everyone wants to be my friend...werddddd...all that for less than city living...
i had my session with nikki yesterday and i forgot my camera..i also forgot gym clothes so i had to buy gym clothes in the store at reebok...
lesson 1...never forget your gym clothes when you are going to the gym
lesson 2...go to the gap for gym clothes unless you want to pay 70 bucks for shorts and a t shirt..
lesson 3...go to the gap becaus ethey probably have your size and not a medium that makes you look like youre wearing spandex...
nikki played it cool and only laughed at me once for my lycra outfit...she crushed me yesterday...we did weight training..it was a total body weight traing session...heres what we did..
first we started out with some squats...then we worked the chest with a bench press...next we did push ups on dumbels an at the out of the pushup, id lift the dumbell to work the back..we did some situps, some leg excercises on machines, some shoulder excercises on machines, and finished off with a sick stretch...last week i was so sweaty, nikki got a towel to wrap around my legs when she stretched me...she continued this week...at the end of the stretch, she does this thing where my knees are in my chest, back on the floor and she lays on top of me with all her weight...all 75 pounds of it..ok ok...she said to make it clear that shes 5 foot 90 pounds...happy nikki?? so she was laying on my knees and i jokingly lifted up and pretended to throw her...well when i looked over my head after, we realized we were 5 floors up and we were by a balcony that could have sent her crashing to the main level...we laughed, she beat me up, then we said goodbye...one thing i noticed this whole time on the challenge...a friend, or a trainer, can really motivate you to work harder...by myself, when i say stop, i stop...nikki called me a WUSSY yesterday!!! so you know what i did...i worked harder...it helps...and, nikkis running the marathon with us to overcome her fear of not being number one, even though she is!!! next week, i promise, little nikki will make an appearance on my blog...be prepared...shes a pitbulll....rufff rufff...ull probably see a shot of her giving me a piggy back ride, or a shot of her on a treadmill at 26 miles...who knows...we shall see...
i ate the usual, egg whites turkey and tomato, for lunch a salad with turkey carrots and chick peas, and for dinner, steamed shrimp dumplings, and pineapple rice with chicken...im going to hit the gym hard today...cardio cardio cardio...i need to burn what i have so i can start seeing the shredding im feeling...
heres a pic elyssa took of me from that ball class the other day...i had to blur what i was thinking since i was really struggling to stay on that stupid thing....
ok music wise...heres where im at....lately, slow songs...the kooks "naive" and the shins "red rabbit"
not gym songs but happy and making me want to go there...while at the gym, i listen to house music....house music all night long say what? gino the ginnys album works it out for me...cop that...its flavorrrrrrrr..
i woke up to this pic today...i mean, who looks better on my bike, me or jesse metcalf, minus the gut??
phreezerfreshhhhhhhhh
dont tuesdyas always throw u off...i mean, its the day after the day after the weekend, and the day before the middle of the week before the weekend...and this week is baby week...i love kids and love seeing their smiling faces but guess who is the one who gets to edit all those photos u see on air?? that would be me...we're talking thousands of edits...moms, i do it for u...and dads but i see moms being the ones who entered their kids..except if catu had a kid...hed enter it...so last night, after i worked out really hard, i went with deanna to get oysters at this little wine bar in long island city....every time weve been there, theres been maybe 2 or 3 people...its a hidden gem in the LIC..So we ordered a dozen oysters, some cheese spreads and some cold cut platter...then ordered more oysters...i dont care if theyre good or bad for you...i love oysters...thats my sweet tooth i guess...afterwards, the attempt to watch tv went sour because i was so tired from the day, i passed out on the couch..i also had a weird dream about gizmo, hes my puppy...i had a dream that this crablike bug attacked him and made him bleed...a lot...it woke me from my sleep...scaryyyyy..heres a pic of the little guy, spread out on the couch...he thinks its his...he wishes....mine, sonnnnn...
hes a shi tzu...oh another funny thing...lately, hes been going to the bathroom on the bed (don't ask!!!!!)
we're like, why, why, whyyyyyyy? so a note comes under my door yesterday from our neighbor mike...it says, hey, so at noon everyday, some crazy alarm goes off in your apartment and your dog goes crazy barking for like 3 hours!!!!!
the culprit was this new ipod clock radio...couldnt figure out how to set the alarm but apparantely, it did...so hence, dog + scared= messy bed....ta daaaaaaaaaa....
thats a pic from snowboarding a few weeks ago...i just found it...they were giving away some lights or something and as you can tell, after a 2000 calorie snowboarding workout, we worked it off with some beers...
oh yeah...remember when i said my gut got in the way of me riding my motorcycle...this was back in june...that gut, is no more...ill take a pic of me on the hog when it stops snowing, just to compare...
we had an insane class today on a ball..it was like that aerobics ball and we lifted weights and stuff on it...it hurts a man to do some of the exercises...no need for details...this morning i had another egg white and turkey sandwich, and for lunch i had a grilled chicken on whole wheat wrap with letuce and tomato...i also had an orange and 2 large bottles of poland spring so far today...i know, my meals are boring but when i like something im eating, i just stay with it...tomorro i have my trainer...wowowowwwowoooooooooo...im going to take pics of our insane workout....stay tuneddddddd...
ok yall, im off to baby pictures...
the phreshmakerrrrrrrrrr...
ahhhhh...so we made it through wedding week...barely...ann marie is probably going to take off for 4 months after this one..she deserves it...she works so hard on these weddings every year...and, as always, it was another amazing story i was a part of...i wish jordan and kacy the best of luck with all their bumps ahead...i mean seriously, here we are trying to shed a few pounds, losing sight of whats really important in life...inner beauty...self worth...its not always about the outside...even on the weigh in...so i didn't drop 20 the first one...but let me tell you, i see a difference...from the bloated face going down, my belly shrinking, my taste buds adapting to different foods, my head being clear because im not fighting agida after a meal...its great...even elyssa, gaining a pound...so what...man i see her at the gym crushing it...and i can tell in her arms...thats the lesson here poeple, dont let the scale get you down...you know if your getting results...just keep the routine...stick to it so it becomes second nature...
So lawrence is here today shooting something with us for his show...i have no clue of what it entails but im sure im going to say something stupid...i also wore a hat today since its minus 30 degrees in nyc and when i took it off the static cling is killing me...i even wet my hair and it still wont go down...it looks like the true hollywood story inhere with the camera crew and producers with lawrence....hes a big deal i guess...lawrence, on 3, ready...1, 2, 3...haha...well ive been eating good...i had a chicken sheese steak the other day and it made me illllllll...i guess my body is adapting to eating right...
well after lawrence im heading to the gym to do nikki, my trainers, routine...i probably wont be able to walk for 3 days, again...no pain, no gain....
oh oh oh...i just got an ipod touch, from the lovely ladies over at RP's office...THANK YOU THANK YOU....It is insane...go get one...its like the iphone but theres no camera or phone....ive been playing with it all day...i mean working all day and testing it out...

last night i had dinner with 2 of my friends and their kids...what a meal....salaad and fish, with cous cous and some other stuff...it was insane....after dinner we sat around and talked real talk about life and how to live it...with this funk ive been in lately, it was nice to hear real people talking real things...perked me up a bit and made me realize that this existence isnt so bad...its something you need to work on daily...when u screw up, especially with food, u make up for it and make positive of the situation..had some things going on in my life but im starting to see why...who needs therapists...talk to real friends that listen...it helps...now if we could only get britney to sit down with these folks and straighten her up...brit brit...come on meng...u have it all..dont lose it over some nonsense...i mean, really?? really?? ughhhh...her and amy winehouse should start a girl band and have diddy produce them...uh yeah bad girls....biggie rest in peace...uh bad girls...take that take that take that...for those that know, ur laughing, for those that dont, listen to a diddy song and thats all ull hear...im sure next time he comes on the show ill catch a bad one for that...i think im all tough lately cuz gillie da kid has me on some ultimate fighter rush when i work out...
the kid is losing it....and trust me, thats not even me crushing it yet...wait for another few weeks when i really crush this competition..ive been eating really really well...its really not that hard anymore...i guess once u cross that hump, it becomes second nature...how about this...super bowl status...were alll kicking it at the bar....the kid orders a veggie plate, while folks are thrwoing back wings...it didnt even bother me...and guess what...fools were like oh can i get some....hahahaaaaaaaaa...im real sore from the gym on sunday though...i think i overdid it a little...no pain no gizzzzain...
im meeting with my trainer nikki today, who just got back from south africa...shes truly inspirational, especiallly when we wor out and she does more weight than me....shes like 5 1 80 pounds soaking wet...my favorite is at the end when she stretches me, she literally sits on my legs with her feet off the floor...sickkkkkkkkkkkkkk....

rymzones...big luntz....
ive been slacking on the blog tip...it was a long weekend fun filled with me calling in sick yesterday...i was feeling under the weather...i took the weekend of from working out because i was a little sore from last week...my shoulders were killing me since i had a reallllllllll deep tissue massage last week....now im back on track...had some fun this weekend with friends...the one bad thing is this weekend, i hardly ate...it started at a restaurant friday night, that i will not name, who had a waiter with an attitude...we ordered some drinks...well we ordered 3 margharitas, and i ordered a vodka and soda...the guy comes over and like no joke, yells at us...hes like who has the salt one? and puts it down in front of me...so i go no we ordered 3 no salt one vodka club soda...he yelled at us telling us thats not what we ordered...so before we all stood up and got nasty, u know since u can be edgy when ur trying to eat right, we all sat back down and sucked it up...i lost my appetite, pretty much for the whole weekend...my stomach was bothering me all day friday and it just wouldnt cease...kind of like a bubbling all day and night, that lasted through the weekend...im not really sure but i think it could be from cheese i ate friday...im pretty much lactose intolerant and whenever ive eaten cheese lately, i get sick...that, anxiety, and stress...it all contributed im sure..saturday we played the WII...its that nintendo game....you wanna talk about a workout and fun?? we played for maybe 7 hours...sunday we did brunch and met up with a bunch of people...i wasnt feeling so hot so i took the day off yesterday...my stomach is a little better today, but still iffy...like i said...stress, anxiety...that stuff could make u go crazy....looking at it all, i think the gym would help, so im going to try and hit it up after out morning meeting...im travelling all week this week, so its going to be hard to hit the gym, but i will, for sureeeee...and eating on the road can ruin a diet, so im going to be extra careful while away...my nutritionist just sent me a vegan diet....i think i wanna try it for a week, just to get a basis of what a healthy diet is, and then add in the things that i like...ya know, chicken, chicken, chicken and tuna...lol...i chatted with her friday and she had told me that while that "vegan" life isnt for everyone, like me, its a good foundation to base your meals on...i just want to have a plan...vegetables are so important in the daily way of life, so i need to start seeing what i really like...i love vegetables...i just eat the same ones over and over....last weekend i had a portabello and hummus sandwich and it tasted like a cheeseburger!!!!!!!!! to all those that have wrote me, thank you....for those who have read, thank you...
mphresher has to do some things before his flight out west....ill write you from the airport and on the road im sure....
phreezerburn.....
i am in painnnn today....i had a sick workout yesterday and my legs are sore...i ran for a mile then did the eliptical for 2...i didnt weight trin but the cardio was killer...i used the incline on the machine and set it to 15!!! werd to big bird...then last night i went down to delmonicos for a meeting...were going to shoot another commercial for the restaurant...im excited...the steak sauce line is doing really well...id like to think the commercial pushed it ahead...lol...thats just me....after dennis closed the restaurant, we headed over to stone street to a place called ulysses...it was deaddddddd....so naturally we came home...this morning, i woke up a little late and had a protein shake for breakfast...i went over to the gym with elyssa and we crushed it...did like another 3 miles, and worked the shoulders...ive been so uninspired at the gym the past 2 days because of the aches but i worked through em...i have to say, the foo fighters made me do it....sickkkkkk....im not really in a blogging mood today...tomorrow i will be though..im editing with NEWS 12's own, gina glickman today and tomorrow...helping her with her reel...i think i may meet joe later for a cocktail....who knows..the way i feel now, i probably wont make it...i have a massage at 630, a well deserved one so im sure after that and ginas reel, ill be beatttttt....for lunch i had some nasty chicken and rice dish with green beans...ewwwww...check elyssas blog for photos from todays workout...
i wrote that for him...
the eminemphresherrrrrrrrr
ohh my godddddddddd....so yesterday, before i get into last night, i hit up the gym at 12:45...i thought we had a 1 o clock class so i was going to run for 15 minutes beforehand...well, the class started at 130 so rather than sit around, i went and killed it on bi's and back...i had a trainer once who trained me to weight lift with 2 muscle groups....everyone has a different way of doing it, but i feel i get the most results from training bi's and back one day, tri's and chest another, shoulders one day, and maybe a combo of stuff on another..do whatever feels right...start off with light weights in the beginning, even if it feels too light....its better to do the excercise right than to not do it right and just try and get through it...for exapmle, at my weight, i use 20 lb dumbells for bi's 35lb dumbells for chest and 30 for tris..just use what feels right...heres some helpful excercises you can follow to tighten up or even develop these areas..
just click on a body part and it gives you some helpful ideas to get your workout on....remember, dont over do it...start off without the weights, then gradually move upwards...again, im not a doctor or a trainer so consult a doctor or physician..my body can handle it, i hope yours can too...if anyone has questions about meal plans or workout routine, just ask me...like i said, i have the trainer and nutritionist here for you all as well...
ok, so last night....here we go....i had an outer body experience, as billy murphy says...we went to this new movie, its called U2in3D...It was insane.....basically, this company 3ality followed u2 through south america and recorded them in 3d...but let me tell you, it was insaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
heres a link to the movie...
i cannot stress enough that you need to see it...i couldnt speak for like 3 hours afterwards...im an editor so watching the way they edited it and layered all the 3d content...
oh my god...and the audio wa insane too...if there is 3d audio, it was in that movie....im not a huge fan of u2, i like them...but, seeing them in this light, it was better than being there....and they were in my favorite part of the world, buenos aries argentina...u felt like u were in the crowd....i lost about 5 pounds clenching my stomach fromt he chills i got when u were literally able to reach out and play the edge's guitar...heres a pic billy took with his iphone through the glasses...dont know how 3d it looks but trust me, its nutssssssssss...
after the movie, we went over to peters, a local spot and had some food...i ate hummus and pita and had a few amstel lights....
i had a blast....me steve, deanna sandra and will 2 be all were in attendance...here we are with our crazy 3d glasses..
what a night...im still speecheless...i need a protein shake....ill repost later...let me come back down from this cloudddddddd....
u2phreshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hey yall...sorry i didnt wrote on sunday and monday...its been a crazy few days...sunday, we drove back from windham...we didnt ride because it was wayyy too cold...we stopped at a diner on the way back for breakfast and i ate a turkey club with club soda...upon heading back into the city, we all decide to meet up at half pint, a bar in the village, to watch the games...there were a whole slew of us there, kickin it and gettin loose as if it were a saturday...tina and myself decided to get silly with a peppermint patty...since i couldnt eat it, i did the next best thing...
i think it was that shot of jameson that did it to me...
i hardly ate at all sunday...at the half pint i had a few light beers and ate like 3 buffalo wings...while we were there, i got a call that my aunts mother had passed away...needless to say, i had the wake yesterday..my family came into town, and we went to dinner and the wake yesterday...it was so nice to see all of my family at one place...everyone was talking about my appearance on tv...too funny...yesterday i ate a piece of a trurkey sandwich and for dinner i had a great meal...tuna appetizer, with a baked salmon steak with a polenta based side...it was amazing...i also ran 2 miles at the gym and crushed it on my chest and tri's...i figured with the weekend passed, i needed to step up the fat burn....you know what i realzied...ur mental state can effect your workout...when u feel depressed or stressed, u dont want to work out, but once u work out, u feel great...so whenever im down, or not into it. i just think of how ill feel after and i get motivated...we have a group class at 1pm today...i cant wait to hit up the gym and release some stress...im def gonna sit in the sauna after, listening to the foo fighters to clear my head...i just found a place for my snowbird trip in february....im getting really amped for it....i think one day this week me and willz are gonna get up and do something non drinking based...maybe chelsea piers to hit some golf balls...i wouldnt mind getting some soccer on this week....ill fiil u in on details of the workout today...

last night, i shot a scene from a music video for my buddies friend...hes from croatia, and hes a big radio personality over there...so much so that we were in times square shooting this scene, and someone comes up and says, "yebbby yebbby yebby...dis no mushca dis dan brovni, pula,!" I made that up but thats what it sounded like...the translation was that this dude knew him!! hes like he told me i know you from croatia, youre the radio guy...unreal!!!!!!! After the shoot, we went down to delmonicos, my buddy dennis steakhouse..there i met up with my emmy award winning editor friend, billy murphy..his friend, who is also an editor, tim dixon, joine dus as well..u can imagine the convesation between 3 editors at a dinner table...were like tech geeks, only we all have cool hair...since dennis is extreme with everything he does, he brought out a seafood tower..it had shrimp, lobster, crab, oysters...i mean it was insane...look below for the pics...heres some pics of us eating and acting retarted...we werent even drinking!!

haters mad at me cuz i gots me some bathing apessssssssss.....mphreezerburnnnnn...stay focused on the weekend people....
the goal is simple, not to win, but to feel good about yourself every day when u wake up...
check this flick out that my mom just sent me...old skoooool...thats me, yeah it really is, my mom sister and dad...like ogle said, i looked so fresh, so clean, and now im damaged goods...thanks ogle...im running 5 miles for that one...
i always thought was a sweet name...theres a rapper out in philly with that name...hes pretty well known underground but hasnt really cracked in the mainstream...theres another dude, reed dollaz from philly whos nasty with it...like i said, my hip hop limits are narrow these days but even though they talk about the streets, they speak the truth...theyre not wanna be gangstas so i respect that...anywhoooo, enough about them, this is about you and me...
so yesterday, i told you i had an intense workout with nikki...im really not that sore today, as i thought i would be...im heading over to the gym in a bit to get loose...im going to run a lot today...i met up with ann, fabian, some guy named tom that fabian works with and deanna at a place called citrus...we all had a few drinks, i had two vodka sodas...they all drank tequilla...oh how i wanted to...but, i realzied all the work i did that day would be lost....people, its called will power...who would have ever thought, me turning down a long night out...fabian had the itch to do a late night... i saw it in his argentine eyes...he was like, yo, bacon, cheese, bagels and beers...for 15 seconds, i was like mmmmmmmmm...then i smacked myself silly, rushed to the nearest deli and got a protein bar and fought his temptations off...just then, i tun around and ann is grazing the streets of nyc for any roughage she can find in the cracks of the sidewalks...remember yall, shes a vegan...deanna went to applebees...ok so im making stories up cuz i dont have anything good from last night...ill have good ones tomorrow because im going to see my friend dennis who has been in san diego all week...he is the man in charge down at a restaurant called delmonicos....its the first restaurant in the united states...um yes, i said it...the firstttttttt...abe lincoln ate there...for realzzzzzzz.....im usually there like twice a week...its a great steakhouse in the financial district...over the summer, dennis launched the companys steak sauce...its actually pretty good...we shot a commercial for it...it was fun and funny...my boy darrin is the star of it....check it out...
and yes, that voice is tony pigg in the flesh...hes the announcer for our show and he did me a solid for the commercial...
so i just ate lunch...sushiiiiiiiiiii...i had some tuna tartar, and a few pieces of yellowtail and salmon sushi...brown rice...i also had a salad...water as well...im all watered out...im hitting the gym hard at 3pm...
thats all for now...tune in tomorrow..i will be on the show....dont have any cool photos today but i will tomorrow for sure....
the phreshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmaker...
Uh to the hip, hop, hibby to the hibbity hip hop....
so that was breakfast this am...a small smoothie from gnc...it was strawberry whey with a banana and skim milk..i have to say, those things fill me up...
oh and this was new years in vermont at 3pm in the afternoon...
and this was the result of all that beer...
needless to say, protein shakes make a body feel way better than an ice cold beer bucket bath...
besides, its better than damien faheys diet of chips, dirty sandwiches and cat hair...
a few of us are going snowboarding this weekend so i cant waitttttt till friday....we're heading up to windham, which is like an hour and a half from nyc...its a great mountain for a quick trip...unlik enew years, those beers will not be there...im using this weekend for a workout overload....last time we were at windham i think my buddy joe broke his hand and i hit my shin on a rail...heres a few pics of my trip out to colorado this past december...we got 3 feeeeeetttttt!!!!
thats me waist deep in the middle...
today is pretty boring, im just finishing up a piece im editing and then going to try and finalize this pilot i wrote...i may be biased but i think its a great storyline so well see where it goes....i just need to get it done so i can produce and edit it...usually when people write pilots, they sell them as such...i want to produce, meaning shoot it and edit it and then bring it to the powers that be to buy it...it gets complicated once you get there, because most of the time, people are like, thats great but do this and that...so when it comes down to it, u either say ill go somewhere else, or you take their advice...its kind of like this fitness thing...i mean, deep inside, everyone knows what they have to do to get where they want...some tell me swim, some tell me run...for me, its a combo of both...i get bored running and bored swimming so mixing it up may help...the one piece of advice we can all share is that cardio works...i spoke with some here at th office yesterday who said she was following us on the plan...she said she biked 30 minutes yesterday...i asked what else she did...she said that was it...i mean, biking 30 minutes is good, when ur going from doing nothing to doing something...but if u do 30, why not do 45 or 60?? because you slow down a little you probably wont burn the same in the last 30, but youll burn more than going on the couch saying i worked out....an hour a day?? thats easyyyyyyyyyy....another trick i learned so far....when ur at your desk...get up every 45 minutes, walk around the office, or take a walk...it gets your heart moving and you feel better when you come back...and for people that still want to "cheat" with food or beer....here's the way to look at it...lets say, tonight, your going to dinner with your friends and youre going to have a few drinks...before you go, hit the gym, or go for a run...when you are at the gym or running, think about how much fun your going to have tonight...think about that last shot your boy wants you to do...when you think of how much fun youre going to have, while at the gym, you almost get a rush and run harder...knowing i was going out last week, i went to the gym with that in mind....it really does help...and the next day, when youre mad u did what u did, u punish yourself....after a few punishments, like when puppy pees on the rug, you will probably not do it anymore...
for lunch yesterday, after our class, which was pretty intense, i had a turkey wrap with lettuce and tomato on whole wheat, an orange and a 100 calorie brownie thing the sell at reebok...it tastes like air because its so not bad for you but i needed something that fooled me into thinking i was eating bad...last night, i had a nice healthy meal, once again...i was craving pasta so i ate whole wheat pasta with garlic and a little bit of oil...i also had grilled chicken marinated in a litlle bit of fat free italian dressing...i also ate a small side salad and had low sodium club soda...i needed the bubbles...
ok peoplezzzzzz, got some work to do...until we blog again...
the phreshnessssssssssssssssssssssss
pk...so i just got back from my first session with my trainker, nikki...she is a pitbull...i love her...i had her for the last challenge and she worked me good...this time, were going harder..shes focusing me on core strengthening...basicall, its making my mid section, and the tiny muscles around the bigger muscles, stronger...think about this...stand on half a ball with a platform, then do squats...its insane....im going to take pics tomorrow of what it looks like because honestly, without nikki, id never be able to do this stuff...shezoned in on my strengths and worked me to the core, no pun intended...anyways, we killed it for an hour and 15 and then i hit the sauna....i sweat it out for another 15 showered and came back to the office to edit a real treat hopefully for tomorrowa show....funny stuff folks...thats why were here...i also saw regis in the locker room on my way out...when i said hey reege, he said, KID PLEASE, NO AUTOGRAPHS IN THE STEAM ROOM...Im TRYING TO GET MY SWEAT ON, SON!!! I think he had a little to much soulja boy today...afterwards, i headed to gnc to get a protin drink, which was nasty...it was one of those can ones....not my thing...elyssa gave me some carrots and almonds so it was all groovy...im debating on what to eat tonight...not really hungry but feeling thai or something like thai...im all written out for the day....i think nikke drained me of everything...oh yeah...afte rthe workout, she stretched me out so good...its a whole different world after a workout when u stretch...remember people, stretchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....ok, im ghost like casper.....peasssssssssssssss
the mmmmmmmmmphreshnesssssssssssssssssss
ok so i woke up this morning to ken rosato talking about some trump building collapse...in a daze, as i tried to peel the crust from my eyes, that stupid commercial came on....if you know what it is, you'll understand why i was cranky this am...not cranky as in crank dat solja boy, cuz honestly, im over it....i give dude props for coming up with a catchy song... heres the best part about solja boys song..the remix by travis Barker...insanity... http://youtube.com/watch?v=mOsuOZ2tLyY i think he may have written that reggaeton song for that stupid commercial...4-4-4-8...heres a link for you to be annoyed now...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=htbUzbTRdi0
the problem here is that my nieces, who are 7 and 5 sing the song....that and the fact that they rock uggs at that age has me a little worried...i have 4 beautiful nieces....thats right, i said 4 girls....my poor brother in law....he has his masculinity in the garage though...hes rebuilding a 68 mustang, so when he needs boy time, he heads downstairs and works on him....hes actually rebuilding the whole car from scratch...its gonna look sweeeeeeeeet....so where was i...oh yeah, annoying songs...i used to really be into hip hop but im starting to head back to my rock and roll roots...i felt when i was younger, and rebellious, the voices of hip hop expressed who i was...u know the whole, anti the police, mom and dad cant stop me, its all about the party...i dont think thats me anymore and when i hear some of these fools talking about nonsense, it irritates me...dont get me wrong, i lovessss me some dipset, but i cant really relate to the gun talk....i think thats kind of a problem because it seems like the 16 year olds can relate nowadays...i mean, look at a rap icon, TI, facing machine gun charges...I understand "the hood" and the hood mentality and how dudes need to protect themselves but machine guns??? well if he has one, the next dude does too...Maybe im just at a different place since an incident occured in my life but i just cant seem to understand how "role models" feel the need to preach the thug life....In the end it's not worth it....oh well...just reflecting...probably cuz im hungry....
so yesterday, i went to a pilates class....before i went i had pita grill...grilled chicken and some vegetables with water..the pilates class was insane...i never knew that working without weight would hurt...basically the idea behind pilates is using counter weight...for example...ull stand on this bar...and of course it hits the floor...
now the idea is to smoothly lift and slide back down....it was the hardest thing ive ever done....
heres an example...looks easy but believe me its not...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtk6RZZSpCQ
its based on core strenghtening and boy is it a workout...so much so that after i did it, i didnt cool down properly and i got sick...i got blurry vision, a headache and threw up...i had to do a shoot after the gym, then i went home and laid down....i tried eating dinner but i couldnt...i had a few pieces of shrimp, like 3 bites of a salad and that was it...i went to bed at 7pm..i cant stress the importance of a cool down....when i say cool down i mean, after you are done with your workout, take 5 or 10 minutes to bring your body back to normal....my heart rate was probably at 160 and i just stopped, went to the shower and went to the shoot...i usually hit the treadmill after but i was in a rush...i also did not stretch afterwards which is bad too...supposedly, i think lactic acids build up in your muscles if you do not stretch and its a good way to get hurt....so remember, cool down and stretch...very important..and hydrateeeeeeee hydrate hydrateeeeee...drinking water also helps you forget about bad snacking...when ur hungry have water...itll fill u up...this morning i ate egg whites turkey and tomato on whole wheat, the usual as the deli lady says...i dont have a problem with eating the same thing every day...i really enjoy it....theres a kickboxing express class at noon i may take if we get this meeting over on time....i doubt it but ill try....if not ill run...i just got a new pair of sneakers....i hope they help with the shin splints...
ok party people...so the mphresher has the monday blues....and by blues, i mean blues....not in the giants win sort of a way...yesterday was a good one...met ann and fabian for a brunch at ullysses...i had veggies, turkey, and oysters...ulysses has the best sunday brunch...20 beans all u can eat....fab knocked back some serious carbs but he can cuz hes skinny...ann of course, being a vegan, ate air....then after brunch we headed up to meet jo and justin....clap clap...lets have some sandwiches....its an inside joke but believe me, its hilarious..something about anxiety, the jersey shore, xanax and joe leonis.....so we grilled, but i ate nothing...had afew bud lights watching the giants...i won the box thing which was 50 bucks...woo wooooo.....i hate man sports...like baseball and football...i like soccer and snowboarding....well after we enjoyed the giants scoring a few goals and eli "my borther is peyton" manning shine through the fox cameras, we headed over to tom and jerrys, a local bar...i had a few more drinks, laughed wrote graffiti on napkins and headed home....when i got home, i broke a jar of pickles, i was craving salt...oh...me and ann ordered sushi at the party...some tuna rolls, carrot rolls and something else healthy...like i said shes a vegan so it helps me....we all talked about riding this weekend...probably windham....fabians going to see if he can get the place for us...if not, hotel status....oh....by the way....i love reading the comments....u people are hilarious....thanks for the love and the support and if i dont respond to u, its cuz i have add....i read it take it in and then forget until i read it again...i just ate egg whites turkey and tomato on whole wheat...mmmmmmmm
im slowly losing my mind....and the best part, is u get to see me crack right in front of ur eyes....stay tuned...im almost there......
so here's a sunday....a night after fuerza bruta...that show was insane....INSANEEEEEEEEE.....recomend u see the show when u come to nyc....it was, like i said, insane....i just ran this morning in LIC...going to eat lunch....i need something healthy...it was a late night last night...show was 11pm...got home like 330...had a few drinks...nothing crazy....i was panting when i ran....panting...its cold outside...i recommend, a run outside....the gym gets boring...8mm is on the tv...i love this movie.....im at a point in my life where im content with the person i am....i love being at the point where i can get to where i want to be....i m going ot get there...im going to be where we can all look back and say, damn he did it.....for u people, i do this....more than for me, i do it because you all motivate me....
it feels good to have a day with nothing to do....yesterday, i recovered from the previous night with a trip to the sauna...i sat in the sauna for about an hour and it felt amazing...i sweat out the night of "fun"...so after work yesterday, i went to the spa because i had an xmas gift for a 50 minute treatment of my choice...after all the working out, i figured id hit up a massage...all the massages were booked until wednesday so i did like any other man would do...i got a facial....wow...it was probably better than a massage...the lady said i had a lot of blackheads in the "t" zone..i told her i rode a hog so she understood...u know, me, the open road, bugs smacking you in your face...after that, i came home and walked the dog, and alan met me at my apartment to go to the knicks game...i havent been to knicks game since patrick ewing played...to put it brief, i see why i havent...talk about a boring team to watch...i think my hs basketball team could beat them...the highlight of the game was the fans screaming "fire Isiiah"...poor guy...first he sexually harrasses an employee now he is being asked to be replaced by the fans..im sure the pistons would love to have him back...oh yeah, at halftime, these dudes did some sick bike tricks on ramps...oh and the knicks dancers...they were impressive...after the third period, and me almost falling asleep, we left and met my cousin at a bar downtown...i had like 2 vodka sodas and was so tired from the night before and the game, i went home..today, is lazy laying around...im taking the day off from the gym...we have dinner tonight at fabian an anns...then were going to this amazing show, FUERZA BRUTA at 11pm...if youre ever in nyc, go see it...i cant explain it, its just insaneeeeeeeeeeeeeee...ok folks, time to shower and walk the dog...
food diary so far...
last night i had a healthy choice frozen dinner, checken alfredo...i also had a half of chicken sandwich at the game, which was so dry and nasty...i drank a sprite because i was so in the need of sugar...this morning i had oatmeal and for lunch i think im going to have a turkey club...water water water...lol.. im finally back to normal and not running ot the bathroom every 30 seconds...everyone made fun of me at work because i talked about the bathroom thing..i think its really important to let people know that your body goes through a complete transformation because if i didnt know that, i would have thought something was wrong...i mean i was in bad shape...i would go before i left my house then by the time i went to the train i had to go again...it was cray...but now, i feel great...and the funny thing is my muscles arent sore, at all...i also downloaded some more music for the treadmill..i used to be a club kid so i hit up itunes and downloaded an album by GINO...its totally hardcore house music but when ur on the treadmill, u run and run and run...sample the songs on itunes...its one of those repeat sounds the same but when ur on the treadmill, thats what ur doing as well...its like pairing a nice wine with your meal...
i think about 2 years ago on a saturday like this...it would have consisted of me and joe at a bar by noon, eating burgers, drinking beer and playing music on the jukebox...we used to do that every saturday...now its like, i would love a day like that, but once in a blue moon...i like waking up sober and not full...this excercise thing is alright by me...thats the thing...you dont have to change your whole lifestyle, just adjust it to living healthier...
the new joan rivers geico commercial is hilarious by the way...
ok...so i went out with the sales guys last night....let me tell you, they party like no others...booze kareoke, networking...sooooo, here;s how it went down...ps, we're allowed to do this stuff...oh by the way...so yesterday, me and dave never made it to our class cuz we had a late meeting...i had a shoot across town, then cam back to the office to meet elyssa for an intense workout...we ran for 2 miles, shin splints and all...then we trained for todays workout on the show, which is happening in 30 minutes....then once i was doen with elyssa and the workout, i ate at reebok, then headed over to meet matt and the gang...kind of like cool and the gang but cooler...we proceeded to drink vodka, and talk, then we drank vodka and chatted, then we had some more vodka and matt sang kareoke...ladieessssssssssss, hes spoken for....sorry...hes a singer, a money maker and handsome....shout out to matty matt...sweeny killed it with his miller lights, he's a hockey player....vish and his vodka cranberrys on scotts tab..sweeeeeeeeeeeettttttt...me and vish talked about the good old days...for hours...so where was i?? oh yeah...so vodka...about 6 maybe 7, about 6 or 700 calories...im good though...my diet is remarkable...cuz i want to do this...for u...for me...one thing i forgot about eating healthy...people...when u eat healthy, u will visit the toilet, 18 times a day to waterrrrrrr....gross i know but real...water ....waterrrrrrr....clear...plain and simple...it means the diets working....dont fret...u will be that guy, or girl at the party constantly running to the bathroom...ok ok...showtime...i need to change...i will blog when im done....one last thing.....deanna is the skinniest, prettiest girl int he world, despit what she says...everyone, give ashout to deanna peeeeyadovano for dealing with me and my rollercoaster emotions through these trying times of weight loss....1 2 3, gooooooooo deannnnnnnnnnnnna...and shouts to mom and pops and the sis and the nieces....always there when i needed a hand, always there when u need a hand...the fam is like that...deep, thick and ready to help out...like my man fabian says, its not a party till the mphhhhhhhhhreshhhhh in the hizzy.....camo, willz, i see you....just not clearly right now.....until i return....phreshaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
what a show...yeah i kicked it like the 80s celtics...short shorts head and wristbands...thats just how i do things...so food...yesterday for lunch, i ate pita grill...grilled chicken with rice and mixed veggies along with a vegatable soup an water...dinner was salmon and a mushroom leak soup...again, water...this morning i did the usual, egg whites turkey and tomato...water water water....like i said the water thing is working....it fills me up so im not hungry and makes me go to the bathroom like 20 times a day...so the rest of my day consists of work, hitting the gym, then meeting my cousins lauren and dino for some cocktails...again...but, im killing it at the gym....moderation not deprivation...instead of the usual 20 last night, i had 6 or 7..see..who says u have to "quit"...but let me warn you...it hurts the next day...like the first time u drank a 40...constant naseau, and constant head pounding...so heres a sick pic of regis wanting to be me...his head my body...

so i just got back from some class with a medicine ball and lots of squats...wowwwwww...was i hung over more than i thought...elyssa said i smelled like a bar and the man next to me goes i didnt want to say anything but damn, u smell like vodka...i felt like a million bucks after that one...so the drinking must cease...i feel like heck today...threw my body in for one with last nights actions....
so, i was looking through some photos of marcos from the past...ok heres a few from when i was an intern, 10 years ago...
thats me and dave mullen...skinny skinny skinny...i weighed 145 at that time
heres a pic of me and elyssa on the same night...
yeah, as u can see, i was always thin and then poof!! me and dave mullen are going to take a yogalates class today...its a yoga and pilates class combined...im excited since im not flexible and i need to be in order to thin out...i know most of u are saying yeah its easy when u have a gym and a trainer to help...well, the reason i have the gym and trainer is to pass along tips to you all...you dont need an expensive membership or trainer, u just need some sort of discipline to get into a ROUTINE...listen, i ran for 5 minutes yesterday to the same song over and over to get inspired...i wanted to quit 30 seconds in...i hate running...hate it...but once i passed the 5 minutes of HYBRID MOMENT by THE MISFITS, i got into it and started listening to mellower music, like THE SHINS, "SLEEPING LESSONS", and also the TIME REX EXPERIENCE, "RELENTLESS"...These songs got me through 4 miles...no joke...try them out...Also THE SILVERSUN PICKUPS, "LAZY EYE"...Theyre songs that make you want to disappear for a bit...I am not a runner, but for some reason, when i look back at 5 miles, i get pretty charged that I did it...You may think that I'm different from you, that i have the ability because of whatever, but really, im lazy, i like beer and family guy, i like beer, i like family guy, i love my couch and sleeping on my dog...im just tired of being winded walking up the stairs, im tired of snoring cuz i have too much weight, im tired of feeling that chest pain wondering if im at the point where one day people are gonna look at me in a box and say he should have had that chest pain checked out...like i said, ur situation may be more "severe" than mine but in the end, look at what i looked like...so to me, ive gained 75 pounds since my "ideal" weight...i always though i was too skinny, now i think im too fat...somewhere in the middle will suffice...getting there is the hard part because im so add that i forgot what i typed on this 5 seconds ago...just ask deanna how add i am...i have to ask her if i walked the dog 5 minutes after i picked up his poop...its just that bad....well anyways, gelman called a meeting...something we do everyday...sit there go over what happened today and talk futures...for most, its nap time, for others we actually get work done...i hope he makes it a quick one cuz we have class at 1230...this work thing interferes with my work out time...and i know its hard to get to the gym after work and were lucky we can go in the day but heres the reality.....wake up a half hour earlier and motivate...dont make excuses that u have no time...because at the end of the day you can start making excuses for why you couldnt eat or go to the bathroom either...its the same excuse as you telling your partner im too tired to have sex...depriving them from something they need....just like your own body, that you have to live in, needs excercise, not a burrito and beer....
MMMMMMPHREEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH
well well well...i see we have some sort of a team here...go TEAM MPHRESH!!! Although I am totally on the side of the rest of my staff fitness-ers..wink wink...so far today, we had a special appearance on the show and ive been blogging all morning...oh how the work around here isnt getting done...i rode my motorcycle in today and its still lovely in nyc...although today, it is a little windy...i'm a little sore from the class yesterday but sore means its working..a group of us were supposed to go snowboarding in windham this weekend but the weather looks crappy so there's kind of no point heading 2 hours for sloppy conditions...instead, im meeting with my 2 cousins friday nights for a few, and i mean a few, drinks...probably vodka straight...saturday night is a dinner cooked by a few friends of ours...the head chef is a vegetarian so shes prepping some good healthy stuff for us...i cant waittttttt...alan, a friend of mine said his man boobs are bigger than mine...and, he's starting a soccer team next week, hopefully...there's my soccer game back on after a year hiatus...if anyone plays in a nyc indoor league and needs people, i got heads..so where was i?? gelman just came in and asked me some questions about something work related...oh yeah, soccer...well, im ready to play...im moving on february 1st so that should be quite the trek...its literally, across the street...tough move...but, the packing part is dreaddddddddfulllllllllll...ok party people, its time to hit the gym...i gotta burn off this weight...
well let me tell you something...i just ran 4 miles indoors and ran a mile outdoors with shully...i am in pain...welcome back to the running game marco...it was nice to have someone to run with...even though she listened to kelly clarkson, and i listened to the misfits, we ran in stride..one slow stride at a time...even though she is the comp, im psyching her out...she thinks its all sweet until i trip her...nah, id never do that...were all a team and doing this together...wink wink...okedokkeeeee...its really time to leave the office before gelman gets back from his run and finds something for me to do...can u believe that with all thats going on in britneys life, she wanted to sit in our studio and motivate the staff fitness people!!! i heard through an undisclosed source that miss spears, aka mrs ex federline, aka jamie lynns older sister, aka dr phils ex friend, wanted to be there for us in a time of need!!!! BRITNEY, holler at ya boy over here, we both need some motivation!!!!!! forget the paps, theyll sell naked pics of you on the internet, id only show my friends....until tomorrow people....here's what i ate today...egg whites turkey tomato on whole wheat for breakfast form the deli...the usual lady wasnt there, so it knid of threw of my 7-8 am routine...its ok though, the kids back on track...for lunch i had a turkey tomato and lettuce sandwich on whole wheat, with a side soup(chicken noodle) and some brocoli and mushrooms on the side...drank about 6 bottles of the skinny poland spring today..tonight, who knows...food is the last thing on my mind...maybe sushhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiii...i love sushi...until the next blogging event, MPHRESHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
wow! talk about stressing out...so i knew we had the weigh in today so i had the "last supper" last night...pizza mozarella and tomato and beef carpacio...i went overboard of course because i knew that eating like that would no longer be a part of my regime...i did not eat pre-weigh in and now im starving...to cure it, im going to have a piece of fruit before we head over to our 130 kickboxing class...tonight, im taking my first class in sun da which is kind of like kickboxing and martial arts combined...me and my buddy jay are gonna start this form of training so i can instill fear in tito ortiz and steal jenna jameson away from him...be afraid tito, i know the trumpster and he may fire you sooner than you think...imagine that, me and tito ortiz in the ring...id hit him once with my stomach and hop over the fence...so here goes nothing...nothing but a journey towards something great...i havent seen anything on perez hilton or tmz about the e-e-e-e-e-elephants that invaded the regis and kelly studios so we're in the clear...phewwwwwww....i did have a paparazi outside the studio telling me he'd give me 10k for a picture of me in a compromising position so i bent over and tied my shoes....unfortunately, he laughed and said where's ripa....she gets all the shine in my moment of glory...and for the record, the nipple rings have been gone for 3 years....my buddy joe invited me out for happy hour since it's 65 degrees in the city, but i had to pass...can't jum right back into boozing on the first day...it's called will power... i just got back from the class...WOWWWWW..I'm out of shape but it felt good...our trainer worked us gooooood....we all kept up, some more than others, but in the end we really got a full workout today...day 1, finito, and this kid is ready for sun da tonight!!! what i ate today so today i skipped breakfast, which is bad...for lunch i had a small minestrone soup, a large salad with mixed greens, chick peas, cucumbers,tomatos,egg whites and carrots with grilled chicken and balsamic vinagrette dressing..for dinner, it's going to be a piece of baked salmon with some veggies on the side...of course lots of water all day long..
well well well...here we go...day 1 of the staff fitness challenge...id say im at about 20 pounds heavier than my first weigh in almost 3 years ago...i know what ive been doing wrong since then, now it's time to fix it...i mean, i think we all know what we did "wrong" which isn't really "wrong"...we just forgot about most of the stuff we did but kept some underlying messages with the last challenge...its frustrating to see all the work you did, thrown out like last nights trash...butttttt, there's always a way to turn it around and i think for me, it's that time...the best part about today is that it was 62 degrees in nyc...i mean, i took out my hog, cruised to work and said to myself, i said self, not self magazine but self as in the person i am, i said self, today your fat a** rode to work and you had a hard time turning corners cuz your beer drinking gut keeps getting in the way...make a change...well, here goes nothing folks...for the unmotivated, itunes the song lazy eye by the silversun pickups....ull wanna run 7 miles and wipe out poverty across the globe...stay tuned for the daily report, by the one and only, say it damien, MMMMMPHRESHHHHHHHHHH....
